Shorty,
We have a variety of weeds and several acres of shallows, 2 ft and less for hatcheries/nurseries.
Here are pics from our weekend:
Jared and I caught these bass out of a canoe from around the lake over the course of a half hour to 45 minutes. There were only a few bass caught above the slot and they were skinny, I'll post an example further down the thread:

The next morning before breakfast we found a thief... If he does this to rats though he can have a few eggs on the side. I know its OT but I thought it was an interesting pic:
My buddy Trey with a typical bass out of the slot. 16 inches or so but skinny. Only three years ago I was pulling out 3-1/2 to 4lb fish with regularity:
I read the links concerning golden shiners and folks seemed to shy away from them. Can anyone elaborate on the reasons to avoid them? Thanks.
